Helmet art, show'm off!

This is probably the best Christmas present I ever recieved. About 20 years ago or so, my wife conspired with my good friend Tim, who worked for NASCAR team Sabco-Ganassi, to get and personalize a new Simpson Helmet. Tim got the new Helmet and worked with their team paint man to do the current (back then it was current) Team Mopar paint scheme. I open the gift on Christmas morning and was blown away!. Super cool!... Until I went to put it on. Somewhere along the line there was a miscommunication. I wear a 7 5/8 and the Helmet was 7 3/8. A tight squeeze. It all worked out after changing some cheek pads and all was well. But a moment of panic on that wonderful Christmas morning! I only wish it was still legal to use.
